Archaeology just flipped the script on Jesus.
For decades, scholars assumed Galileans were the theological liberals. Cosmopolitan. Hellenized. Progressives.
Turns out they were the conservatives.
They took Scripture seriously. They went down to Jerusalem for Passover and criticized the ruling priests for being too cozy with Rome. For living in palaces. For treating people like dirt. For ignoring widows and orphans.
Jesus and his followers weren't the radicals pushing boundaries.
They were the ones calling the priesthood back to the Law of Moses.
Dr. Craig Evans explains how archaeology completely changed our understanding of who Jesus actually was in his world.
